Escalada en Chulilla... An amazing expanse of beautiful red limestone!woodzy | 23 July, 2006 11:16 This area is almost as spectacular as Switzerland was, just on a much (much!) smaller scale. The climbing here is excellent limestone. Although if you don't have a car, getting here is not the easiest thing to accomplish. Luckly though, there is bus service from Valencia, but here is the kicker... it leaves Chulilla at 6:45am and it leaves Valencia at 6:30pm / 7:30pm. I found multiple websites that claimed the leaving time was 6:30pm, although when I got to Valencia Estacion de Autobuses and asked the information desk... the bus was leaving at 7:30 on platform 35-37 everyday (this is as of July 2006). The cities website (http://chulilla.com) claimed the time was 6:30 but times during the summer were subject to change. The ride is about 1hr 45min. In conclusion, a car would be helpful, but not necessary... I love Europe.
You also have to bring a pair of shorts that dry fast... the stream (they call it a river) is super cold (read freezing on a hot day) but oh so amazing. The bars are expensive... hit the market... Apparently they sell guide books in town for 7euro. I didn't want to shell it out, so we just hiked in and wandered around climbing things... plus we were only there for a day basically...
